I'm not really sure how much Sony/Microsoft gets from 3rd Party developers in terms of a cut but the Gamecube pretty much proved that Nintendo can completly flop in terms of hardware but since all the top games are theirs, they will still turn a profit. I cant really say the same for Sony. The Vita is pretty much dead because no one wanted Sonys software and there was no GTA to carry the console for them. I think its much more dangerous to rely on other companies to carry your console then to be able to develop all of your own games. |
Are you sperating GC from handhelds ? Nin was profitable but how much of it was due to gameboy.
